Christmas "Cracker" Joke for the Cruise
Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the
pearly gates. "In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said,
"you must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get
into heaven."
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a
lighter. He flicked it on. It represents a candle, he said. You
may pass through the pearly gates Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of
keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells". Saint Peter said
you may pass through the pearly gates.
The third man started searching desperately through his pockets
and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. Saint Peter
looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what
do those symbolize?"
The man replied, "They're Carols."

You can't miss it its the green lighthouse ship just west of Portsmouth harbour entrance and straight opposite the Millenium Tower. Leave Camber and its the bright green boat 200 yds in front of you.

Things are taking shape! Will update list with boat names etc. soon.
Channel 77 is often chosen for comms and may be the most appropriate!

No crew as of yet so plenty of seats if you want to join me out of Southampton Ocean Quay Marina (no launching or recovery!).

Hiya Bogib,
A broad estimate of ten may be safe at this stage But all does depend on weather. Will do a proper update in a few days.
The All-Weather Mike 'Whiteshoes' expressed great keenness last night to crew for someone.
Kathleen & Paul

Crew
At the mo, we are empty... I am trying to gather a few hardy friends to join us for the day but am happy to offer seats if they are needed. Launching from Lymington at about 9.30 - 10 then hoping to head to Pompey to meet the others at 11 [ish]. Although all very weather dependant at the mo obviously... just let me know if you'd like a seat. I could well have several...

That's great news Ian & Gray
Spoke to The Folly peeps and they're cool about hordes turning up for lunch on the day. Or even a no-show if the weather's bad.
They're a great class of people over there on the Isle
Thanks for updates. Keep 'em coming & we'll update the list soon.
